Summary Introduction
A group of protists, considered as main superphylum and clade within Eukarya is called alveolates and it is also known as Alveolata. It is a large group that includes Ciliophora, Dinoflagellata, and Apicomplexa. The presence of cortical alveoli is the most notable shared feature of alveolata.
